Last Chance to Sign up For Shelby's Police Citizen's Academy
Shelby Township police are still accepting applications for its fall Citizen's Police Academy, scheduled to start on Oct. 12.
The 2011 Shelby Township Citizens Academy will in no way mimic the 1980s slapstick comedy movie Police Academy: Citizens on Patrol.
This popular bi-annual citizens class introduces residents and businesses that are serious about keeping the streets of Shelby safe. The class also teaches participants about many different aspects of the police department and its day-to-day operations.
Topics scheduled for the fall session include:
